WVFD Homecoming Festival Underway











It's started and yea, I get excited about these things. If my grand kids lived closer I would probably be spending the better part of my pension check on spoiling them with yummy treats and ride tickets, not to mention those french fries. Just to aggravate their dad I'd even take them down to sign up for the free bikes. He'd have to figure out how to get them home if the Good Lord smiled down on them!

Stopped by last evening to check things out. I was very impressed with the midway. There is all kinds of rides and things to entertain the young ones. I was kind of surprised with all that Brown Amusements were able to fit into that space.

Pictured above are just some of the rides available. I'm tempted to try out that Vertical Reality one. It looks fun, sorta of like bungy jumping on a bench.

Oh Kareena, there's a picture of the FF concession just in case you get disoriented after that long drive. It's in the football booster's concession stand. Kareena and her family are coming in all the way from the Peachtree State. She's Lee & Karen Tice's little girl. For her and her family it is truly a homecoming. Lee was a long time volunteer with the ville's VFD and Kareena grew up with visions of red trucks with loud sirens and flashing lights dancing in her head.

Gates open at 5 P.M. Come on down and join us at the 20th St. ball field. Safe trip for all and especially the Harty family traveling all the way from Atlanta. We look forward to see y'all...
